👉 Drinking math involves understanding how to calculate the most efficient way to consume alcohol to achieve a desired level of intoxication while minimizing the number of drinks needed. It's based on the concept that the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream and metabolized by the liver follows a specific pattern, often described by the "DALI" (Drinks per Day, Liquids per Institute) model. This model suggests that the optimal number of drinks to consume depends on factors like body weight, gender, and tolerance. For example, a standard adult male weighing 150 pounds might consume about 4 drinks (around 14 ounces each) to reach a BAC of 0.08% on a standard scale, while a female of the same weight might need around 3 drinks (about 10 ounces each) to achieve the same. By adjusting the number and size of drinks, you can better control your alcohol intake and reduce the risk of overconsumption or hangovers.
